It marked the 11th time this season that Kemmling earned low score honors. Ashley D'Attilio was only one stroke behind Kemmling with a fine round of 42. And sophomore number three, Emma Atkinson, turned in the third lowest score of the tournament with a solid round of 45. 

Senior Co-Captain Emily Deutsch, who won both the nearest to the pin and long drive competition, rounded out Berlin's scoring with a 47.  

Berlin is in action next, on Wednesday, at Tunxis Plantation where it will compete in the CCC Conference Tournament.
